USA.- Billionaire and Democratic candidate has more than 8 million followers on Facebook, but prefer to use Twitter.

In May, former employees of Facebook accused the social network of political bias by excluding news on the activities of the Republican Party of the list of most popular publications regularly and do not take into account the materials on American conservatives. Following this accusation, many wonder why the world’s largest social network became involved in politics and why the giants of American technology companies do not want to see a Republican president?

The tool Trending News , which offers users Anglophone a list of the most popular news, was launched in 2014. A year later, 66% of users in the United States and Canada considered Zuckerberg’s new creation as the main source of news. However, the news portal Lenta.ru announced the curious peculiarity that publishers can directly alter the content of the news and the order to display them .

The presidential candidates are actively sharing their electoral messages on Twitter and Facebook. But for Donald Trump, unlike the Democrats, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, the main site is Twitter, where you can criticize without any restriction rivals unlike Facebook, which opposes ‘trolling’ and that from public people. Meanwhile, to appease the disgruntled Republicans Zuckerberg has said that the figure of the billionaire is not being restricted in any way in the social network, justifying it with the astronomical figure of 8 million followers who have their profile. However, the simple analysis of the number of ‘I like’ and the number of followers of all candidates casts doubt on his statement. Thus, messages Trump collect an average of 40,000-50,000 ‘I like’, almost the same as those of Sanders, who has half followers. Some 30,000 ‘I like’ receive publications Clinton, with 3.8 million followers.

The possible victory of the Republican candidate, not concerned only Facebook , but also other technology giants as it would be Apple . One reason, according to the statements of his colleagues, is that the billionaire does not pay enough attention to national security and security of personal data privacy. Similarly, they worry their support for the “Patriot Act” , which was adopted after the attacks of September 11. This law expands the powers of the FBI, CIA and NSA electronic surveillance on US citizens.

One of the facts shows that concern is the case of the dispute between the FBI and the giant Apple over the iPhone one of the terrorists San Bernardino. On several occasions the giant company was criticized by Donald Trump not provide the Office Federal Research aggressor personal data which were stored in the “Smartphone” .
